5 Car Buying Tips Dealers Dont Want You To Know From Delta Auto Protect

    PHILADELPHIA, PA, July 30, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Buying a car can be one of the most stressful financial decisions a person makes. Not only are they expensive, you usually have to make this decision once every few years, plus you have to face off with a person who deals with car sales every single day. Fortunately, we here at Delta Auto Protect have a couple of tips and tricks you can use to get the upper hand in the negotiation.

Avoid the Add Ons

Auto dealers make a ton of extra money with additional purchases when you are buying a car. On top of that, almost everything they offer is sold at a significant markup. If you are buying a brand new car, chances are it's also coming with a very good manufacturer's warranty, Buying an additional extended auto warranty on top of it can give you peace of mind ad something we recommend for used cars and cars that are about to have their manufacturer's warranty expire.

Skip The Trade In

Trading in your vehicle, more times than not, will not get you top dollar. To get a good ballpark figure of how much you car is worth, have a look at the National Automobile Dealers Association prices. This is what dealers will use to price out used vehicles. If the dealer offers you a value close to the NADA that your happy with, feel free to trade it in! We have found the best way to get the most cash for your car is to sell it privately. It's a bit more work, but if you're looking to save money it's the way to go.

Bring Your Own Loan

It might be a bit surprising at first, but you may not get the best loan possible at a car dealership. Interest rates are typically lower at banks or credit unions, which can allow you to save more money when shopping for a vehicle. Even if you don't have excellent credit, you can get a pre-approved loan from a bank before even setting foot in a dealership.

Know When To Walk Away

Have the confidence to know you can walk away from any negotiation. When it comes down to it, the sales person needs the sale much more than you need to buy. Take advantage of that by trying to drive a bargain and be willing to walk away from the sale. There will always be other sales people and other dealers to find a car at a price you are comfortable with.

Ignore The Sticker Prices

When it comes down to it, the sticker price isn't always an accurate reflection of how much a vehicle will cost. Sometimes dealers even sell cars at a loss just to get a bonus for that month. So don't be so wary about the price you see on the car, it isn't always accurate.
